This document discusses William Gibson's apparent nostalgia for modernist and avant-garde art forms and technologies in his cyberpunk novels. It explores how Gibson draws from Futurist visions and Art Deco imagery in Neuromancer, with references to other movements like Constructivism and Dada. While Neuromancer celebrates avant-garde art through its experimental style, Gibson's later works lose this edge and portray the influences with growing irony. The increasing parody suggests Gibson became conscious of postmodern literary trends in using fragmented histories and nostalgia.
